Be ity knomi that I, DAVID S. KENNEDY, or Brooklyn, eonnty oi Kines, and State oi' New York, have invented a new an d useful .improvementy in Linotyp e Machines, of

which the following is a specification.

My invention has reference to linotyp'emachines of the Mergenthaler class wherein the matrix-holding magazin es are removable .in a downward and forward direction from the main trame,

` as shown, for example, in Letters Patent of the United Stat-es, No.

816,8gfilatecldp1il S, 1906, and the applieationf forlietter-S Yatent of the United 5ta-tes,

Serial No. 307,759, tiled March 23, 1906,

The object of the invention isoto facilitate l i the removal and replacement or the maga To this end it consists in combining therewith means whereby the torwai l magazine is lifted, drawn forward, i tained above its operative magazine also moved .reari to its operative position ii'h place.

In the accompanying drawings shown my invention applied end ot the sus* n and the positively to. a infiel tine having a Series of superposed Amagazines, as

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan View of the maehine having 1n y i111- preifements applied, the upper magazine being lit ted preparatory to its removal. Fig. 2 is a side View of the parts, showing the uppermost magazine removed from its place and supported in a pendentposition aty the front prt'iparatoryv to its removal. Fig. 3 is a side View showing the magazine in opera tive position'. Fig. 4 is a perspective View of one, of the arms for moving the magazine. Fig. 5 is a eross-seetion showing the supporting-stud *ith the arm thereon.

Reerring to the drawings, A represents the rigid main. trame ot the machine.

I), 1)', b, and if* are the inelined superimposed magazines, each channeled longitudinally to receive and guide the series ot oontained matrices. The. series oi magazines is supported on an underliiug liaseiiriirme D,

. 4' Sustained on a column d", `sliding in a stationen lowered to ite arlv sleeif'e or guide F and raised and lowered hy means et a Central yaerea' dil, :ietuated through intermediate gear.

On the hand-Wheel d there is an arrangementserving to raise andlowor the series ol magazines, so that they may he lil-ought' to the proper elevation for removal i'rom the n i aol i ine.

lli removing the magazine, .it .is neeesz'try that its'y lower end should he lift-ed :there the operativo position and above the channeled l`aee-plate F, into which the n'iatrieee are delivered, and that itlhould he sustained elettr during its ron'ioval in a downward and forward direction. For this indi( ated hy like letters in. the Rogers applias shown in Fig. 2.

arms engage m the noti-hes of the magazine,

t. backward, thereby the'magazine positively wardf and backward on a horizontal pivot gend g and also with a stud bining with the magazine, removable in the purpose 'provide on each side of the ma-Y chine an arm or lever G, arranged to turn for;

on the vmain frame. These arms are movable laterally on their pivots to a. limited extent and are each provided with an. upturned gf",1ocated onthe inner side and midway of its length.

The form and arrangement of the parts is such that after the arms are turned rearward they may be moved inward laterally in such manner thatA the studs g2 will engage in the notches b4 of the upper magazine. If after being thus enga-ged the arms are turned upward, their studs will lift the forward end of the magazine and draw it positively forward away from'the pressure-springs E until it is in such position that it may slide forward and downward over the arms until arrested by the studs b" encountering the ends of the arms, whereupon the magazine may be permitted to assume the pendent position, as shown in I4` ig. 2. In this position it will be sustained wholly Aby the arms, so that it m ay be convenientlygrasped by the attendant for removal'. hen turned. forward, the arms G hear upon and are sustained by the studs g4v on the outer sides of the mainframe, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4.

Inapplying the magazine to the machine it is presented in an upright position between the armsG and the studs b rested thereon, The lower end is then turned upward and the magazine pushed bodiiy backward until the studs gi of tie after which the arms are turned upward and forcing the u pperend of Y under the conlining devices E, and the forward end lowered toits opera-tive position. 1

Vhcn the machine is provided with a sev ries of magazines, as shown, they may bel re-' -moved successively after first lifting them to the proper levels by raising the base-fra me l), as l'iefore described.

The essence of my invention lies in comdirection shown, means for lifting' it and for moving it positively in :in endwise direction, and it will he understood by the skilled me chani-c'that the devil-es nmy'be greatly modi,- iied in form and arrangement without ehanging the mode of action or passing beyond the Scope of my invention.

ln order to hold the arms G in engagement g with the magazine and to prevent them from i separating laterally therefrom, I propose to provide each of the studs g with a projection g5, arranged' tov ride againstthe side face of 60 the arm when the latter is'turned from its normal position. This projection gi is ar. ranged to pass-laterally through a-notch ili the' yside of the arm to a circumferential groove g therein, this arrangement permit-65:

ting the arm to be drawn outward away from the magazine at the proper point. l Having described hiy invention, what I4 1. In alinotype-machine, the combination 4. In combination with a sustainingi'ame:&y and an-mclmed removable magazine thereon,
